"Brother Qing, is the Chi Chen in front of me real? Am I dreaming? Or are we already dead?"
Lin Bai still looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief, and asked Qing Sheng beside him in a trembling voice.
"Smack!"
Qing Sheng swung his hammer backhand and struck Lin Bai, asking with a slight tremor:
Does it hurt?
Lin Bai: "It hurts, Brother Qing, it's real, not a dream, Chi Chen is really back!"
Lin Bai felt a burning sensation on his shoulder and finally believed that everything before him was not a dream. The person they had been waiting for had finally returned.
Lin Bai: "But Brother Qing, why didn't you hit yourself just now?"
Lin Bai suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Qing Sheng with some anger.
Celebrating my birthday: "Because I'm afraid of pain!"
Qingsheng replied without blushing or skipping a beat.
Lin Bai: "???"
So you're saying I'm not afraid of pain?
You're so high and mighty, you're so amazing, you use my pain to prove that this isn't just a dream.
"Hahaha, we don't have to die, you big oaf, we don't have to die!"
Behind Qingsheng and Lin Bai, Gan Yuan looked at the scene before him and suddenly burst out laughing. This feeling of surviving a disaster was fucking awesome.
"hey-hey!"
Wang Hao chuckled sheepishly and tried to reach out to touch his bald head, but because of the severe injuries, he couldn't even lift his hand.
"Why didn't you show up sooner after you got back? You just had to pull this 'hero saves the damsel in distress' act, ugh, 'hero saves the hero' kind of act, huh?"
Xiang Ming lay on the ground and muttered a weak complaint.
It's the same old routine; you always have to show up at the last minute to save someone, right?
On the field, because of Chi Chen's appearance.
The despair that Qing Sheng, Lin Bai, Xiang Ming, Wang Hao, and Gan Yuan had felt earlier vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of relaxation.
It was as if the boy's return gave them a sense of security.
Although there was a powerful and mysterious being not far away who could rival Ruoyue's level, in their eyes, Basha was now like a corpse, and there was nothing for them to worry about.
Looking at everyone's expressions and listening to their complaints about him, Chi Chen's smile grew even brighter.
It tastes the same as always, and everyone is still here. It feels really good.
"You all lie down for now, I'll go kill a mysterious creature to liven things up!"
Chi Chen addressed the crowd, then turned and looked at the market.
Everyone: "???"
That sounds a little strange.
"Sigh, he really has reached the Star Radiance Realm. This kid has never disappointed me!"
Qing Sheng noticed the fluctuations in Chi Chen's aura and felt slightly helpless. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked when he actually saw this scene.
It should be noted that when Chi Chen disappeared in Dawn City, he was only at the Solidification Realm. Although he was already close to the Ascension Realm at that time, how long has it been? Chi Chen has already reached the Star Radiance Realm. Such a speed of advancement is something that others can't even imagine.
"Hmm, something's not right?"
Suddenly, Qing Sheng turned his head sharply and looked at Hu Miaomiao, who had been silent all along, standing next to Chi Chen.
"hiss!"
When Qingsheng sensed Hu Miaomiao's aura, he gasped in shock.
Why is Hu Miaomiao's aura stronger than Chi Chen's?
He has already reached the peak of the Star Radiance Realm, and even has a trace of the Daoist charm belonging to the Ruoyue Realm?
Because Hu Miaomiao had remained quiet, Qing Sheng hadn't noticed this even more terrifying little girl.
The sudden realization of the difference made Qingsheng begin to question the meaning of life.
These two? Don't they have any way to make life impossible for others?
Where did they go during the time they disappeared from Earth? Should we ask them to take me there again?
Just as they were celebrating his birthday, Lin Bai and his group of five were shocked to notice something amiss about Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao.
On the other side, the market was also caught in a state of self-doubt.
I possess the powerful and mysterious strength of the Moon Realm!
However, just because two humans at the Star Radiance Realm suddenly appeared, you treated me like I wasn't there and just talked to yourselves.
Is this really a good idea?
"Heh, foolish humans, thinking they've seen hope, little do they know, it's nothing but deeper despair!"
Basha coldly watched Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao, but a hint of interest appeared on his face. Chi Chen's sudden appearance earlier, which destroyed one of his energy attacks with a single strike, had surprised Basha.
Basha believed that his attack, which he had just unleashed with 30% of his strength, would be too much for an ordinary Star Radiance Realm cultivator to withstand. However, Chi Chen calmly shattered the attack. Even though the energy beam had already had some of its power depleted by the other five ants, it was enough to prove the extraordinary abilities of the newly appeared Star Radiance Realm human. But this only slightly piqued Basha's interest.
After all, the gap between the Star Radiance Realm and the Moonlit Realm is not so easy to overcome.
"Two humans at the Star Radiance Realm, they can keep me company for a while!"
Ba Sha revealed a cruel smile. He could tell that Chi Chen, who had just arrived, was the backbone of this small team. Therefore, he did not intend to kill Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao immediately, but rather to torture them a little, so that the other five could watch their savior, on whom they had placed such high hopes, slowly die in front of them.
The more desperate expressions on their faces at that time would surely make him feel exceptionally comfortable. Thinking about it, Bazaar even felt a little impatient to see those expressions.
"How about I loosen my grip a little and kill him with a spiked club?"
Hu Miaomiao watched as the expressions on Ba Sha Na's ugly face kept changing, and her brows furrowed slightly. He was already so ugly, yet he still had to smile. Now he looked even uglier.
"No, no, no, this is a good opportunity to test my current combat strength. I will call you when I need your help. You keep an eye on Brother Qing and Lin Bai for now."
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen quickly waved his hand and shook his head.
This girl really does use the calmest tone to say the fiercest things!
He's a formidable and mysterious figure, how can you just knock him out with one blow?
It should be at least two blows, right?
Qing Sheng, Lin Bai, Wang Hao, Xiang Ming, and Gan Yuan listened to Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao's conversation with slightly strange expressions.
This feels like a husband going out to work and telling his wife to stay home and take good care of the children.
"Brother Qing, Lin Bai, you guys bear with it for now. That mysterious creature is very strong. Healing you now will make me weaker. I'll heal you after I kill it!"
Chi Chen left a sentence and, without waiting for everyone's reaction, his figure disappeared from the spot.
At the Star Radiance Realm, spiritual power is like a sky full of stars. Under spiritual perception, everything is just a step away. Chi Chen, whose figure disappeared from the original spot, appeared behind Ba Sha in an instant.
Behind Ba Sha, Chi Chen was now fully covered in a new battle armor formed by the fusion of the Battle Saint Armor and Nightfall, with the Battle Domain directly enveloping Ba Sha.
"This human is strange!"
Basha felt a cold glint from behind him and was startled. His speed was too fast, much faster than that of an ordinary Star Radiance Realm cultivator.
Moreover, he hadn't even been able to accurately sense when the man appeared behind him before the man drew his sword.
This first move by Chi Chen made Ba Sha look at him with even greater respect.
"This must be the most outstanding genius among humans, haha, things are starting to get interesting!"
However, although Basha was somewhat surprised, he was only surprised. He did not think that Chi Chen could really pose a threat to him. However, being able to kill a top young genius among humans swept away Basha's previous depressed mood. In this way, his birthday had some meaning!
The thought of the market flashed through my mind, but only for a moment.
Chi Chen's long sword was already close to Ba Sha's neck.
"Oh!"
Basha sneered, and then, to Chi Chen's somewhat surprised look, the hand that had been pressed against his body suddenly extended from behind him, enlarged, and slapped straight at him. At the same time, another hand reached out and instantly transformed into an extremely hard bone spike, accurately blocking his long sword.
Chi Chen's attack was blocked, and he seemed to be put on the defensive for a moment, but his expression was not flustered at all. He suddenly twisted his body in the air, letting the giant hand whistle past his body, and then Chi Chen's long sword fell down, heavily slashing at the arm.
"Clang!"
A clanging sound rang out, and Chi Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Those palms could freely change their hardness.
At the same time, more hands emerged from Basha's body, forming a prison-like barrier that surrounded Chi Chen.
Upon seeing this, Chi Chen's expression turned serious. This creature was mysterious and very strong.
This was the first time Chi Chen had fought with all his might since advancing to the Star Radiance Realm, and his opponent was somewhat beyond his expectations. However, even so, there was no fear in Chi Chen's eyes; instead, a blazing light shone in them.
In the distance, everyone watched the scene unfold with smiles on their faces, seemingly unconcerned about Chi Chen's current predicament.
